from among their own number, used to collect a
percentage varying from % to 20 per cent for
collecting and dividing the mems wages. 1t
must be understood that these men do not work
for coal company, their pay is considered
charge on the vessels they load, but because the
captains did not always have the money to pay
the trimmers the companies assumed the pay
ment and charged that al cash advanced in the
bill of lading and took the percentage for them
selves At first the bosses made collections from
the captains. and the men allowed them to take
from IS to 40 per cent for their trouble Mr..
Frederick A. Potts said the other day that when
he investigated this question he found one boss
making So, 900 year, and he thought the COM
pany might we'll take that profit to them
selves. The companies continued to take

except those shipping at the two Amboys. At
Perth Amboy the shippers continued taking 25
per cent, and at South Amboy 20 per cent. Up
to last October all the other companies got an
equivalent by requiring the trimmers to trim
the company's boats at smaller prices than other
boats. The difference in favor Of the company's
boats varied between trimming for nothing and
a difference of one cent . ton, but tho full gain
to the company amounted to an average of 10
per cent by actual calculation. When these de-
mands were made last spring they were granted
at Port Richmond by the Philadelphia d Read
ing, and partially granted at Hoboken and some
other ports. Last September the demands were
again made by the Den, and the companies all
granted an increase on trimmers charges of half
| q cent ton all classes of boats except open

companies boats open boats and therefore the
increase didn't affect the treasures of the

Manufacture of Indian Carpets.

The deXterity of the wOrkmen or boys
is so great that it becomes fascinating
employment to watch them and the
growth of the carpets beneath their quick
fingers The threads are stretched upright
before them in the same manner as in the
Gobelin tapestry looms, and the knots of
cOlOred wOrsted are tied along the top
Just within reach of the hands. One color
at a time is selected the end pulled down,
and quick as thought is tied round one of
the threads of the warp and cut off at the
same moment by the rough sickle shaped
knife which is carried all the time i'll the
right hand of the workman. Thus
the pile is formed exactly as it is in
the case of Turkey carpets, by a success
sion of knots having both ends cut off on
the surface of the carpet
During the whole Of the process q Curl
Gus song is carried on in alternate couplets
between the man who is seated behind
the loom and the workers; this would APP
pear to be the means of directing the tying
in of the colOred Worsteds to form the de-
sign, for no pattern or guide OF any sort is
visible. The simpler parts of the carpets
are made by quite young boys, While more
experienced wOrkmen undertake the more
intricate borders. When all is done, the
foundation threads are cut from the loom
and deity plated together and knOtted
into a fringe. Chicago Tribune.

The Oricin of Railroad ..sawing."

Some years ago two long freight trains
met at a siding on one of the Illinois
prairies. The siding was not long enough
to allow the trains tOpass. The assistant
manager of the road happened to be on
one of the trains, and he was at his wits
end to know what to do. There stepped
up young brakeman who said he could
manage the trains so as to enable them to
pass. The engineers laughed at him, but
the manager asked him to explain. With
a stick he traced in the ground his plan,
and it was so simple that every one at
once comprehended it. In fifteen minutes
the two trains had been moved by, and the
operation is now universally adopted on
sidings that are too short 1t is called
saving. The young fellow, while riding
on the top of his car across the dreary
prairies had studied out and solved this
problem, and when the opportunity came
he was ready for it. He is now the gen
eral manager of the great Northwestern
system Anew York Sun.

To Europe via Hudson,s Bay.

1t seems to be a very wild project, but
the funds have really been subscribed to
build a railroad to Hudson's bay, so that
wheat can be carried by vessels, which,
for at least month in the year, may avoid
becoming icebound far north in the Arctic
circle The fact is, the region northwest
of ST. Paul, and traversed by the Mani
toba, Northern Pacific and Canadian
Pacific roads, is destined to be one of the
great wheat and potato fields of the
world. With it's resources, it could feed
the population of the whole earth. Yet
to look at it on the map, it seems to be
dangerously near the regions of perpetual
ice. It's distance from the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans is so great that a waterway
of any kind is very tempting, and hence
capitalists can be found who will build a
road to give this wheat a new water out
let to Europe. -Demorest's Monthly

fully toll it whenever it was set agoing.
The bell was under cover, but projecting
from the house was long nicely balanced
lever with big sponge on the outer end.
There was a little roof over the sponge to
keep the rain off, but when q fog came on
the moisture would saturate the sponge
and the weight bearing the lever down
would start the machine and set the bell
to tOlling. If the fog soon disappeared
the sponge dried out and the lever stopped
the bell, ready for the next fog, but if the
fog held on the machine eventually ran
down and had to be wound up again. -
